Public Figures
My person, Oprah, was actually the first to be guessed, but I wasn't exactly making it hard for everyone. I said that she's one of the wealthiest women in the U.S. and someone immediately thought of Oprah because she is so well known and successful in so many different areas. A few other easier ones were Bill Clinton and Jessica Simpson. The reason these were so identifiable was because of things they have said that everyone remembers. For example, with Jessica, it was the whole tuna mix up with "chicken of the sea." Without that information, it could have been more difficult because there are so many singer/actresses who are popular. For Clinton, it was "I didn't have an affair with that woman." Since he was our president at that time, everyone was aware of the Monica scandal and its details. Christopher's was probably the most difficult because he kept up the character without just flat out describing himself. He spoke "profound" ideas and such and didn't reveal many defining characteristics. Once he said he was a fictional character from the fifties, we caught on to the "superhero" category and eventually he was guessed to be Bruce Wayne, aka Batman.
